Lucky you then, already knowing what you're meant to be doing.

( feels a bit like salt in the wound, really, but it's fine. if natsume knows that the path he's been on is the right one for him, that's something to be glad for. besides, amami knows that you can't expect everyone to see your own perspective on things. sometimes, you need to meet them in the middle, and sometimes, they won't see where you're coming from at all. that's also fine, but he'll give it a last-ditch effort, resigned as that smile of his may look. )

Maybe it's not so much that I want to know what's ahead of me though, and more... ( that he doesn't know how much they took from him. )

I guess I'm just curious about the kind of person I was before the killing games started, that's all. Granted, I'm assuming I had a talent at all; there's always the chance they made a mistake, and I'm looking for something that isn't there, too.

( and who knows, maybe he'll just be told some pretty words about how who he was doesn't matter as much as who he is now, all those things that are nice to hear, but can never really settle the unease that's made its home in the pit of his stomach. if that's the case, it's fine, but it's a topic he doesn't exactly have the chance to get into often regardless — he may as well get the words themselves off his chest while he has the chance. express, somehow, why it weighs on him. because in just the same way that natsume doesn't like the idea of others controlling his path forward, amami hates that he's lost the path he's already walked. )

( so it's a finding the past problem. a little more understandable, a little easier to tread as a topic. the kind of person he was before all of that... )

If the rest of your class had ONE, you probably had something you were notable for TOO. Even if it was something stupid like "LUCK".

( sorry not sorry komaeda. )

Have you done any Eye of the Tiger-style montages trying out activities to see if you'll be miraculously amazing at any of them YET?

Thought about it, but y'know, there's so much out there... Even if I spent every day searching, there's no guaranteeing I'd find it, so I guess I've been just kinda... hoping I'd stumble across it.

( it's supposed to be something he'd be passionate about anyway, right? ultimate pianist and detective, they feel big and hard to miss, but what about something like the ultimate entomologist? ultimate weather forecaster... how would you even test luck? and you can't can't really check something like ultimate astronaut while he's locked up in a school. but that aside: )

Even without a talent, I've got things I need to focus on, so it's not like I want to put everything aside searching. ( he shrugs. ) It's too bad, but maybe I'll figure it out some other way. I mean, there's no reason I couldn't remember it eventually, right?

( and, you know, saying it aloud... it does give him an idea, but he waves the a hand dismissively, waving away the topic now that it's served its purpose. )

Anyway, guess I got a little off-topic there, huh? Haha, sorry about that — but thanks for this.

( he taps the video against his shoulder as he stands up from his seat. )

If that's all, you don't mind if I head out, do you?

( ... )

Wheat weeVIL, boll weeVIL, and the giraffe-neck weeVIL. Three other types, if you ever need to know THEM.

( maybe it'll come in handy,

for natsume's next quiz game, )

But YES, you can GO. ( ... ) Thank you for coMING.

( but no "sorry for tricking you". )
